SUNSHINE - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Good morning everyone, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far! It’s time for the latest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal. We are continuing with our theme for September of - Out of your comfort zone.

We all have our own scrapbook style.  We tend to repeat certain elements, colours, and even layout designs.  This month, let's move out of our comfort zone.  These challenges won't be too specific because each person will need to evaluate their own scrapbooking and do something different from their typical layouts.

Today’s challenge is - tools - we all have tools in our craft rooms that we never use.  Perhaps you bought the latest punch board but it's still in the wrapper or your cricut is collecting dust.  Let's pull out those tools and put them to use this week!

Here is my layout…

I used a stencil and distress ink to make it look like water is splashing. I also used a border punch on this layout of my grandsons having a “Whale of a Good Time” in the pool. These are both tools that I haven’t used in some time!

Material list - AC Cardstock and everything else is Echo Park except the Fun In the Sun sub-title which is Recollections.
